    I’m primarily a PC gamer… The only game on my phone is Bloons TD6. Which I open maybe once a month.

    But why not use the computer that’s literally in front of me rather than settling for the lesser experience?

    Note: I should clarify, I don’t have a Tesla and don’t care for them at all. I just view this feature as probably one of the better ones.

      How is bloons td6? I loved 4 and 5. Would be fine tossing some dollars at ninja kiwi if 6 is up to par. I’ve also seen it in Netflix and confused about how I feel about that.

        Oh it’s a decent time killer. I don’t really do mobile games. I only did this one strictly because of the nostalgia (Original on library computers in high school sort of thing) and because it was on a sale. I haven’t regretted the purchase and they don’t make the in app purchases super necessary. Overall I’d give it a thumbs up. I don’t do any of the multiplayer stuff either.

        And I don’t know anything about Netflix in regards to td6… I did see that Mr.Beast did a sponsorship with them…

      Right, and that computer is your phone. Get a controller adapter for your phone and you can play anywhere, in your car, at home, etc. Install a couple emulators and the world is your oyster.

      The car is obviously only viable if you’re in it, and you still need a controller anyway. Why install games to your car that you can only play in your car when you can use your phone or a handheld console that you can bring with you?

      I get that it’s “cool,” I just don’t see anyone actually using it more than as a gimmick to show off from time to time.

        For some a tiny phone screen is not a possibility. Also phone games are not equal to steam games. And some would not want to own a Steam Deck or Switch and pack it around with them in case they need to charge. It certainly isnt a priority, but if your car has a computer capable, why not?

          I honestly don’t think cars should have a computer that capable. I don’t like self-driving features, constant tracking of everything I do, etc. But that’s kind of beside the point.

          If it works for you, great. I just honestly couldn’t see myself using it because the number of times where I’m in the car with enough time to play a game is almost zero. The only time it might work is when charging, but honestly, I just wouldn’t buy an EV if waiting 30+ min to charge would be a regular occurrence. Cars should charge overnight, charging stations should very much be rarely used. That’s the big sell of an EV for me.

          I’m not opposed to it existing (provided they can’t be played while driving), I just don’t see the point.
